Not sure about .bashrc; I've heard of it but never make use of it. About those other aliases that keep comming back, look in your /etc directory. Read through /etc/profile for starters and notice the reference to /etc/profile.d and all the .sh files inside. Aliases can be, and are set in one or more of those scripts. I think most of them pertain to the ls command and other environment variables are set in there too. Another brief educational experience awaits you when browsing the /etc directory.:) On Sun, Jun 24, 2007 at 05:35:11AM +0100, Gaijin wrote: > Hi again all, > > Well, Slack11 is working great.
